Bad token? What does it mean?

[Blackeme99]

I was in ficho tunnel and i found the entrance to fluorite plains! I went in, It stayed on the loading screen for a long time. It said "Failed to connect to map server. Would you like to retry?" Or something like that. I retryed, But then it just kept loading for longer. I pressed esc and logged in again. But then it just kept saying  like "Connecting to front server...". I closed the game and opened it back up again, I logged in, It went to the loading screen, It said bad token. What does this mean and how do i stop it?

Yeah, that happens a lot because Fluorite Plains has a big map server or whatever it's called so it takes a long time to load and sometimes it doesn't work. So if it doesn't work, then just try again. (It might take a few tries.)

Bad tokens is the servers way to tell you that something went wrong when loading a map/location most of the times. The client failing to communicate with the server, or other way around. If there was some connection problems just during the time you tried to load a new map, this might happen to you. Also maps that has an extreme amount of online users, or more objects and other custom things might take longer to load, and the chance of getting bad tokens might rise. Usually the issue doesn't last for too long and get solved by just trying going through a portal again or loading the character again or just keep reconnecting, for some it's worse than others.

Bad Tokens have to do with connection issues. So for example if you try to enter a map with many lag-causing objects, it may have trouble loading it properly in one go. Or if your internet connection isn't great, it can cause bad tokens to appear. Same with maps that just have many users on it that can be a mission to connect to.
There are many reasons for bad tokens. They are not the worst of problems though. It just means bad connection, in simpler terms XD
